(FRE) APRM Governance Link - Issue 9
À mesure que les gouvernements assouplissent les réglementations de confinement mises en oeuvre depuis mars 2020 pour ralentir la propagation de la Covid-19, nous ne pouvons faire autrement que d’appréhender la vie telle que nous la connaissions avant d’être malencontreusement interrompus par cette créature abyssale appelée le Coronavirus. Quelques activités qui avaient été suspendues font peu à peu leur retour, des écoles ont ouvert, le shopping n’est plus aussi pénible et les réglementations autour des restaurants et des lieux de culte ont également été assouplies. Bien que nous devions encore respecter un certain nombre de restrictions, comme l’imposition de la distanciation sociale et le port de masques faciaux, je préfère de loin suivre ces règles plutôt que d’être confinée entre mes quatre murs à supporter les cris de mes enfants et les caprices de mon cher mari.
Governance Link - Issue 9
As governments ease lockdown regulations that have been implemented since March 2020 to slow down the spread of COVID-19, we can’t help but look forward to life as we knew it before we were rudely interrupted by this faceless beast called the Corona Virus. A few activities that were banned have made a come-back, schools have opened, shopping is no longer as painful and rules around restaurants and places of worship have also been relaxed. Though we still need to adhere to some level of restrictions, like the imposition on social distancing and wearing of face masks, I’d much rather follow these rules than be locked up at home with my screaming kids and solemn husband.
Governance Link - Issue 8
As the world grapples with the devastation of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Life, as we know it, has changed. The challenge we face today has been both unexpected and devastating, in the form of a deadly virus that is spreading around the globe and that is challenging how we do things. Governments in their wisdom have imposed lockdown/isolation and social distance restrictions. All these measures to respond to our common and invisible enemy, the Corona Virus.

Governance, Gender and Peacebuilding: Strengthening the nexus
There is a growing realisation in African states that bad governance causes inequalities that can lead to the outbreak of sustained violence. Violence against women is a manifestation of gender inequality resulting from unequal power relations in times of peace or conflict. Sustainable solutions requires women to be their spokespersons and to articulate their concerns and issues within formal governance platforms and peace processes.

Gouvernance, Genre et Consolidation de la Paix: Renforcer le lien
Les États africains se rendent progressivement compte que la mauvaise gouvernance est à l’origine des inégalités qui peuvent conduire à l’explosion d’une violence durable. La violence contre les femmes est une manifestation de l’inégalité des sexes résultant de relations de pouvoir inégales en temps de paix ou de conflit. Pour trouver des solutions durables, les femmes doivent être leurs porte-paroles et exprimer leurs préoccupations et leurs problèmes dans le cadre de plateformes de gouvernance et de processus officiels de paix.
